Proactive Kindness!
Three angels walk into an inn and ask for a drink.
Sounds like the beginning of a joke. But that is actually the opening of tomorrow’s Torah reading. Besides for the drink part, they didn’t ask for one, they were offered one by the innkeeper, Abraham.
He was so anxious to host people, that only three days after his circumcision, he was already outside looking for people to wine and dine.
We can all take a lesson from Abraham.
Let’s not wait for people to come begging by our door step. Get out there and offer. When it comes to kindness, even a little proactivity can go a very long way.
Shabbat Shalom!
Rabbi Yossi Zaklikofsky
